You can use a three minute egg timer or the Boggle game timer. Also, I found a way to work around that annoying loud ticking timer. Same amount of time. I've played Scattergories since it first came out in the 80s. I'm glad they finally put new categories in the new edition.
Other than that, everything's perfect =) The game is a great game, which is why I wanted it to begin with. The only thing is that the timer is really loud.I don't know if that has anything to do the condition it is in, or if that's just the way that it was meant to be.
I recommand it for the whole family. I played this with my children and we had a lot of fun.
Also per round I have people circle each "correct" answer then tally up winner for round and give winner a bingo chip. If there is a question of an answer being valid just have all those in favor raise there hands. To play with larger crowds I photo copy the answer sheets and lists, seperate them into bundles, and the extra people get to play along.
I use a simple hand raise vote. Great game, great fun. I am a big fan of the "creative" answer but some people just are not.
The game is a blast. No more annoying paper scoring.One thing is, you better decide on a system for veto-ing answers. Needs expansion packs.
This works better than teams in my opinion. Person with most chips after the 12 lists winds the gaame.
An egg timer might be a better choice. The loud tick-tick-tick of the timer is the only negative we've found--the ticking adds a layer of anxiety that subtracts a bit from the fun. Scattergories is a word game that you can play with friends and family of any age from sub-teens to octogenarians. The play moves along smartly and scoring your word lists creates a lot of spirited give-and-take among the players.
